According to what Li Nuo said to me at the beginning, Kaoli and I didn't dare to delay any longer on the way, and we slept in the open along the way, and left the Jin Kingdom smoothly, and half a month later, Luoyi, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, was already in sight.

Kaoli also never came to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, and was full of curiosity about everything here, crossing the Yishui on the west side of Luoyi, and marching along the official road lined with green willows, but saw that there was a pavilion in ten steps and a pavilion in five steps on the official road, which was for passers-by to shelter from the rain on rainy days.

Passers-by stroll leisurely or sit in the pavilion to rest, and as far as the eye can see, there is a peaceful and comfortable scene.

Kaoli couldn't help but sigh: "After all, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and you can see from their expressions that their lives must be rich and stable." ”

I smiled indifferently: "From their expressions, you can also see that the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven do not have any sense of crisis, and the smiles on their faces seem to tell you that they are content with the status quo and get by. ”

"Don't forget, Gongzi, every vassal state in the world is the land of Zhou Tianzi, and every common person is Zhou Tianzi's people."

I slowly shook my head and said, "I'm afraid that every prince no longer has any position in the eyes of this Zhou Tianzi, and every common man has long regarded the small country as everyone, and there is no concept of the Great Zhou for a long time!" ”

Kaoli said: "But it seems that Luoyi is quite rich, we haven't seen a beggar so far!" ”

I nodded, but I didn't think so, it was not easy to do this, and it was enough to let my soldiers drive all the beggars out of the country.

Finally look at the city in the distance, although the Zhou Dynasty declined, but Luoyi is the capital of Zhou after all, the area and scale of the city are all beyond the countries, the moat in front of Luoyi is deep and wide, the city wall is majestic, along the long bridge to the city gate, but see the flow of people coming and going, one by one the clothes are gorgeous, the face is rippling with a smile, filled with a scene of prosperity and wealth.

Long before walking on the long bridge, we learned from others, turned over and dismounted, and led the horse slowly, which was a rule specially established to show respect for Zhou Tianzi.

The guards in front of the gate were clearly armoured, and after routine inquiries and inspections, we were allowed to enter Luoyi, and when we entered the city gate, we knew the thickness of the outer wall, and it took twenty steps to cross the outer wall and enter the city.

A straight avenue leads to the center of the city, lined with willows and flowers, and the breeze carries the fragrance of flowers in the air.

It was the first time for Kaori to see such a prosperous and rich scene, and he was a little dizzy and fascinated. I'm used to seeing the bustling modern metropolis, and I'm not surprised except for a slight interest in the imposing buildings of Luoyi.

The two of us found an inn called 'Le Yi' on the most prosperous 'Shengshi Street' in Luoyi, and compared to the places where we lived along the way, the facilities here should be regarded as super luxurious five-star.

After bathing, I asked for two bowls of beef noodles in the lobby of the inn and ate some of them, and the innkeeper surnamed Lu saw that I was generous, and he looked very respectful to me, and carefully accompanied him with a smile and said, "Where does this son come from?" ”

"I came from Chu State, and when I came to Luoyi, I saw that life here was rich and the people were stable, and I wanted to settle down." I was talking nonsense.

Boss Lu smiled and said: "Life is rich here, but the poor are less than the kingdom under heaven, and the people's hearts are stable, after all, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the war between the nations cannot affect us here, it is a good place to live and work in peace and contentment, and the son is very discerning!" ”

After I finished eating the noodles and leaves, Boss Lu asked people to serve three cups of tea, took the opportunity to sit beside me, and said with a smile: "If you want to talk about where to live, the best thing in Luoyi is Nancheng, where most of the people live are princes and nobles, rich merchants and magnates, and many kings of the world have villas there." ”

Seeing this boss Lu talking eloquently, he was a jack of all trades, and I just happened to be able to ask a few more things: "To be honest, I used to run a jewelry business between Chu, Yue and Wu in the south, and this time I not only want to settle in Luoyi, but also want to contact the jewelry shops here, and want to develop the business here." ”

Boss Lu said with a smile: "Childe is the right person, when it comes to jewelry stores, we are located in the 'Shengshi Street' prosperous, but there are not a few decent jewelry shops, after all, the purchase of these things is either rich or expensive, the place with a lot of people seems to be lively, but the fish and dragons are mixed, and real high-rollers rarely come here to hunt for treasure." ”

"Boss Lu, can you advise where there are the most such shops?"

Boss Lu laughed and said: "This kind of shops are rarely gathered together, one of the most famous jewelry shops in Luoyi is located in Nancheng, and the other is located in Jinshui Lane on the right side of the palace, and the owner of both shops is one, his name is Duanmu, and the name of the shop is 'Xiangyun Baohao!'" 'Duanmu is the number one connoisseur in the Luoyi jewelry industry. Boss Lu paused and said: "The most favored woman of the Son of Heaven is called Ru Ji, she likes pearls the most, and the Xiangyun Treasure is also the place she frequents the most." ”

"Thank you Boss Lu for your advice!"

I came to the Xiangyun Bao alone, wearing a robe made by Luoyi 'Ayafuxiang' Seiko, and hanging from the bronze sword made by Mr. Wenluo, who is Ou Yezi's senior brother, who casts the sword most luxuriously and decoratively, contrary to Ou Yezi's most practical, but it is the most sought after ornament by princes and nobles. This dress is a little ostentatious even in Luoyi, my temperament is outstanding, coupled with this luxurious outfit, on the way, many beautiful girls in Luoyi have attracted sideways, and I am secretly proud in my heart, I quietly reminded myself that I should still be low-key, if it is not for a special purpose, I really won't dress like this.

I came to the Xiangyun Treasure in Nancheng, and the grandeur of my demeanor had already attracted the attention of the two guardians, and the two of them saluted me respectfully and said, "Who is the son looking for?" ”

I was slightly stunned, I didn't expect that there would be such a business, the store opened naturally to let customers in and out of the business, they got two doors not counted, but also interrogated my purpose first.

I smiled indifferently: "Is Duanmu here?" I'm looking for him! ”

When the two saw me calling the boss's name, they glanced at each other, and one on the right said, "Can you see the name of the son, I will report to the boss immediately." ”

I smiled and said, "I'm here to take care of your business, why don't you invite me in first?" "The two of them firmly blocked the door, like them, all business is going to be mixed.

"Childe, don't hide it, our store doesn't do any business today, unless you find the boss in a hurry, and ask Childe to tell the big name of Gao!"

"Open a store and don't do business, I haven't seen such a strange store in the world!" I sneered.

At this time, an old man walked out of the store, he looked at me, and said in a low voice: "Childe doesn't seem to be a local, and he doesn't know the rules of our store. ”

I smiled and said, "My surname is Lu, and I came here to discuss business with Mr. Duanmu." ”

The old man nodded slowly and said, "Mr. Duanmu is not here, tell me something!" ”

I thought about it, and finally picked up the wooden box in my hand, opened the wooden box, shook it to the old man, and then quickly closed the wooden box, turned around and left, although it was only a quick glance, the old man's face suddenly changed, and he said loudly behind me: "Childe, please stay!" ”

The corners of my lips couldn't help but smile a smug smile, it seemed that this pearl that I had forcibly bought from Tanuki was indeed a treasure, and as soon as I took it out, I had already moved the old man. I deliberately ignored him and continued to walk forward.

The old man hurried up, blocked my way, and said to me deeply: "The old man has offended a lot just now, and I hope that the son will forgive me!" ”

I smiled and said, "Why does the old gentleman need such a big gift, I just sincerely want to do business, and I don't have any other thoughts." ”

The old man respectfully invited and said, "Please go and sit inside!" ”

I frowned in embarrassment: "The master is not here, and you are not doing business today, I am afraid it will not be good for me to go in." ”

The old man smiled and said: "The old man Duanmu Ju is Duanmuju's uncle, and he can still say two words here, son, please!" ”

I saw that he was honestly invited, so I followed him back to the Xiangyun Bao, and I said softly: "Mr. Duanmu, since you are in the jewelry business, why do you ......?"

Duanmu Ju laughed and said: "Although we have opened two shops in Luoyi, this one only does business with regular customers, and Gongzi and us should not have had any contact before, so the misunderstanding just now happened." ”

Walking into the store, I found that all the layout and furnishings looked like ordinary houses, and when I walked through the front hall and came to the courtyard in front, Duanmu invited me to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard, and a small servant served us fragrant tea.

Duanmu said respectfully: "Son's surname? ”

"My surname is Lu!"

Duanmu nodded, his gaze falling on the wooden box containing pearls in my hand: "Childe, can you let me take a closer look?" ”

I happily handed over the wooden box, Duanmu raised his hands to take it, opened the wooden box, carefully admired the pearl, examined it for a long time, and then nodded heavily and said, "What price does Childe want?" ”

I slowly put down the teacup and said, "I have long heard that Duanmu is the number one treasure appreciation master in the world, and I think it is best for him to ask me in person!" ”
